cfumagalli	This is a no brainer, sell around 200. Get back in around 170-180.	Love	December 01, 2009
Stockpickr Staff	On his <a href="http://www.thestreet.com/p/_search/rmoney/jimcramerblog/10629103_2.html" target="_blank"><I>RealMoney</I> blog</a> yesterday, Cramer wrote: "In other words, we are in a territory where we deserve to be higher, and we are higher, but on an individual day like today, when an analyst says that a hot group like the semis should cool off because business is turning sluggish, we hastily recalibrate how high we should be. When oil is down big, we question the Baltic Freight Index and we figure things can't be that strong, even as we have had the same reaction, "Groundhog Day"-like, each time oil goes down $2 toward $75. When we have the biggest bank, <B>Bank of America</B> (BAC), trying endlessly to get a CEO, and the best investment-banking house, Goldman Sachs, under tremendous assault, it's hard to see the stocks of the other banks doing well." He continued that "with the fundamentals of the three-legged stool of banks, tech and oil in question, you get an on-the-spot downshift and, underneath, a retreat to the <B>Procter & Gambles</B> (PG), <B>McDonald's</B> (MCD), <B>General Mills</B> (GIS) and <B>WellPoint</B> (WLP) (the latter because health care reform, Senate style, just doesn't hurt 'em)." Cramer owns Bank of America, Goldman Sachs and Procter & Gamble stocks for Action Alerts PLUS. On <a href=" http://www.thestreet.com/story/10628576/1/cramers-stop-trading-dont-sell-tjx.html " target="_blank">"Stop Trading!"</a> on Wednesday, Cramer said Goldman Sachs needs to replace its guilt with pride because it does a "good job," creating wealth for its clients. He told viewers that the government, not Goldman itself, should "answer for why it helped Goldman."	Love	November 20, 2009

barrons3	Cramer said Goldman will be headed back to its highs and he sees 15 points of upside in that stock.	Love	November 12, 2009
barrons3	First, the two banks I like: Goldman Sachs (GS) and JP Morgan (JPM) seem like they are waking from their slumber. Some of that might be an interview I read on Bloomberg.com , where Dick Bove raves about the banks sector. Given that he most recently squawked negatively on Wells Fargo (WFC), he is now becoming a total prop of the bulls. I wonder if Meredith Whitney would take a victory bow and slap Goldman Sachs on to her buy list? Why not? She's up $15 from her sell recommendation.	Love	November 05, 2009
barrons3	This rally will fade if it is based on tech, oil and the industrials, as it is now. With Wells Fargo (WFC) teetering and JPMorgan (JPM) always looking like it is rolling over and Goldman Sachs (GS) failing, you fall prey to a market that is based on productivity and job cuts and not expansion and credit improvement.	Love	November 05, 2009
barrons3	Cramer said gauging the market is as simple as looking at a handful of stocks. The ones on Cramer's radar include JPMorgan Chase (JPM), Goldman Sachs (GS), Wells Fargo (WFC) and Bank Of America (BAC), four stocks which he owns for his charitable trust, Action Alerts PLUS.	Love	November 05, 2009
olemmett	like big banking	Love	November 02, 2009
barrons3	That means Goldman (GS), Morgan (MS) and other banks that have strong trading units are still poised to turn profits but the big money center banks such as Bank of America Corp. (BAC) are in a different class and the profit potential doesn't look nearly as attractive. - Joe Terranova	Love	October 28, 2009
bruceerb	COP	Love	October 25, 2009
barrons3	Also, elephant in room Goldman Sachs (GS) is still being hammered even as the numbers have room to go up.	Love	October 22, 2009
barrons3	How about how Goldman Sachs (GS) and IBM (IBM), which can snap back after the hammering they took?	Love	October 22, 2009
troj1304	strong company	Love	October 20, 2009
barrons3	Housing's bad. Short JPMorgan (JPM)? Short Goldman Sachs (GS)? Why? What do they have to do with anything? They stand for higher gross margins and great plays on the yield curve.	Love	October 15, 2009
bigeasy1777	Same with GE..	Love	October 14, 2009
barrons3	So what stocks does Miller like right now? A little more than 25% of the portfolio remained in financials as of June 30, 2009. Positions included State Street (STT), NYSE Euronext (NYX) and Goldman Sachs (GS).	Love	October 10, 2009
barrons3	Hold -- Price 186.98 on Oct. 7 by Sandler O'Neill & Partners We are raising our 3Q09, 4Q09, and 2010 EPS estimates from $3.25, $3.73, and $17 to $4.15, $4.85, and $19.61, respectively. Our 3Q09 increase primarily results from increased revenue assumptions in FICC [Fixed Income Clearing Corporation] trading and principal investments. Specifically, our 3Q09 revenue estimate increases by $1.3 billion (13%) to $11 billion. (Our 2009E-EPS [numbers] do not sum across quarters due to share dilution.) We're raising our price target ... to 203, based on Gs' historical price/tangible book value versus our future 12-month return on TBV regression model taken over a historical five-year period. We use our estimated 2010 ROTE [return on average tangible shareholders' equity] of 19% from our estimated 2009 tangible book value of 101. Our new price target represents 2 times our 2009 estimated tangible book value. Market cap: $98.1 billion.	Love	October 10, 2009
barrons3	As usual, the easiest way to make it back is to get on the horses that are leaders. What I did with 59 days left is figure out which companies were going to have the best quarters (e.g., Apple (AAPL), Google (GOOG), JPMorgan Chase (JPM), Goldman Sachs (GS), Salesforce.com (CRM)) and which ones had already had the great quarters (e.g., Nike (NKE) and General Mills (GIS)), and I would buy gigantic positions in deep-in-the-money calls dated January. That way, I had the exposure I needed.	Love	October 08, 2009
PATRN	IS WEATHERING THE FINANCIAL STORM	Love	October 07, 2009
Shenaynay	A little overweight, thats why I have a stop order on it, but inthe long term future, this company will have large returns. Rating = B+	Love	October 05, 2009
barrons3	Instead, they will pick up Apple (AAPL), General Electric (GE)and Goldman Sachs (GS) to pretty up the balance sheets.	Love	September 30, 2009
Stockpickr Staff	"Goldman Sachs (GS) was among the losers of the financial sector Wednesday even after separate analysts raised full-year earnings estimates and stock price targets for the bank." <a href="http://www.thestreet.com/story/10605198/1/goldman-financial-winners-and-losers.html" target="_blank">Read more here.</a>	Love	September 30, 2009

barrons3	Najarian said Goldman Sachs (GS) looks like the better bet than Bank of America (BAC) after it received an upgraded price target price of $225 from $180. "They're looking at close to 20 bucks per share for 2010," he said.	Love	September 23, 2009
